My first post was meant to be a **** take at those claiming "fighting leftovers" if you fight a guy who loses. Your right it should have been against Timmy (though we know he had issues with his promoter). I'd have preferred Khan to say "right feck this I'm off to 147 now rather than waiting" in all honesty. Bad to watch? Whats that got to do with anything? I don't think Peterson v Khan will be a good fight TBH, Peterson has speed but no killer power, has been put on his arse against top fighters and isn't on the same planet as Khan.
I hope they both knock eachother out. They're such twats. You want to like them and then they do or say dumb ****.
Oh i get you now haha. I think every fighter has his own destiny regardless of thier opponent (in this case loosing against Timmy). If people had that mentality then there would be no fights no comebacks from upsets etc. Yeah i suppose so... but guess Golden Boy wants him to be active; 3 fights in year is quite good. When you mentioned those big fights which occured in the past I just said they were not bad fights at all... i enjoyed watching them. I think Amir will win a wide UD if not a TKO but you never know what Lamont will bring... afterall its 2 titles on the line.
Pretty much, and he knows this. I mean, why get your ass whipped against Khan when you can get it kicked for more money against Manny?, it's a ***** move and Bradley can **** off with his bull****.
In terms of being a highly ranked fighter, then yes. He was world class. Much higher ranked at 140 than Casamayor is at 147.
Bradley should fight Judah next being that Khan is fighting one of Timothy's defeated foes (Peterson) next.
THis is classic Bob Arum matchmaking. Take a used up name fighter like Casamayor and put him in against Bradley. This was Bradley won't have a chance of losing and can at least get credit for fighting somebody the boxing world is familiar with. Then he can match him against Pacquaio next. No doubt Bradley is PAcquaio's next opponent. Meanwhile, Amir Khan won't shut the **** up about Mayweather. Trying to pull a David Haye and talk his way into a fight. We know how it turned out for young David. Khan is the definition of an "internet thug"... He should keep improving his skills, dominate Peterson, and call for Mayweather when he's actually ready to fight him. Enough of this, I'll be ready in a year crap.
Bradley only turned down the fight so he could sign with Top Rank and get a fight with Pacquiao. Why else would he turn down a career high payday? It's business. WIn or lose against Manny, he could still fight Khan later.
I'll give Tim the benefit of the doubt. Better this than inactivity and if he fights Pacquiao next as is rumoured then no one can accuse him of ducking Khan surely? Tim is still the man at 140 in my opinion even if I'd favour Khan in any future bout and well deserving of his P4P #7 spot.
